What's up with Coach Net ?

I was shocked at the price difference when I read about this once before. We signed up for a 3 year basic plan ( on our 3rd year). I wasn't logged in though, so may be a cheaper price when I am up for renewal. I also did not see the option for different plans. Just an option for towable or driveable with one price.

Talked to them about my renewal

Higher rates are for year 1 for new members


Renewals at old rates - mine is $79

I also checked a few days ago and got the $249 price. Don't need that in addition to the Progressive I already have.

If they were to at least offer to price match GS, I might consider them at renewal time. Otherwise, I don't see them as being competitive at that price point.

I understand providing excellent service costs money. This is clearly a insurance type product in which they have analyzed cost and will make a profit in that most people won't use the service and those that do will cost much more than the premium .most customers will pay out more than they use That's all fine
I clearly don't understand the business model that charges so much more for new customers over existing unless it is their intention to keep those new prices and not offer the lower renewal prices to those new customers ... ever. How can you grow a business when you are so far out of line with the competition ?
Can anyone who has paid this higher price ...249 / year say if they have the renewal option of the lower prices and multi year ??

Read my post above I called them - this discussion is out of hand - I welcome others to call them and confirm my facts

The Question isnt about renewals. Its clear Renewals of those who paid less or currently in their contract (and paid less than 249. motorized)will get lower rates
I called as a potential new customer and was given one option no "basic", It's gone for new customers.. only one plan ... 249. motorized.No guarantees on future pricing.

Got a renewal letter in the snail mail yesterday: Premier Coach= $149/$447 (1 year/3 year). Premier towable is $129/$387. Basic is $79/$223.

I can't imagine why it would be regional prices on RV's. Many of us travel distances and all over with them.

I agree, but Coachnet functions as basically an insurance policy. I mentioned regional above because of the wide difference in insurance cost based on your home location. It was simply a thought. There are now a couple of states where Coachnet is no longer available which adds to my thoughts of "regional".

I'm with the others though. A high entry cost does nothing but send potential long term customers to the competition or to go without. Lets hope Coachnet comes to their senses.
